That's not the central premise of democracy. The central premise of democracy is majority rule, that's not what presently exists in the US. The US is not a direct democracy, it's a representative republic specifically designed to not upset the power dynamic of Capitalists over Workers.

Were you under the impression that the Capitalists that formed the structure of the US did so along the lines of the Workers, so that the Working Class may have power? I'm sorry to tell you, but that has never happened, and any gains the Working Class has made (such as under FDR) have been absolutely torn away over time, thanks the Class dynamics influencing government that you ignore.

I'm sorry, but I'm not a Utopian like yourself, I focus on reality and existing conditions.
